Dear Allin and Sven,
Many thanks for your quick responses. I do agree with Sven that it
shouldn't matter qualitatively, but I think that it should be considered
normal to expect quantitatively consistent results when running the same
test, even though it's through different procedures.
By the way, I downloaded and installed the current snapshot (1.10.90.cvs
build date 2015-05-30) but the results are still different.
adf runs the test-down on the common data set (N-1-maxlag) for lag
selection, but reports the "optimal" lag ADF results on the full data set
(N-1-bestlag).
coint reports the ADF results directly from the test-down run for the
"optimal" lag (N-1-maxlag).
